Functional Summary
The CLS-EXP-DIM enables the expansion of the
Crestron
®
iLux
®
integrated lighting system and other
Crestron lighting dimmers to support 120, 230, and 277
volt loads up to 16 amps. It allows any output channel of
a compatible dimmer to dim a fully loaded circuit of
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, 2-wire dimmable
fluorescent, or neon/cold cathode lighting. It is also
compatible with CLW-Series
1
in-wall dimmers and most
CLX-Series lighting control modules
2
.
The CLS-EXP-DIM is designed for mounting to a vertical
surface and can be installed in a space used for
environmental air as defined in NEC
®
Article 300.22(C).
Conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower
sides. All connections are made via screw terminals
behind the front cover.
•
Works with Crestron iLux (CLS(I)-C6), CLW
1
,
CLX Series, GLX-DIM6, and DIN-1DIMU4
dimmers
•
Emulates the characteristics of the dimmer that is
controlling it
•
Up to five expansion modules can be connected
to a single iLux dimmer channel
•
Supports 120, 230, and 277 volt LED;
incandescent; NCC; MLV; and 2-wire dimmable
fluorescent loads
•
Can be installed in an air-handling space

•
Includes threshold adjustment for setting
minimum fluorescent dimming level
•
Built-in air gap relay at the output
